Fig.3 illustrates that the unsteadiness parameter reduces the dimensionless film thickness . Also, for critical value of the unsteadiness parameter the film thickness tends to zero. This implies the film thickness vanishes that this critical value and then the motion becomes impossible. One of the main objectives of this study is to discuss the surface tension effect, according to thermosolutal Marangoni convection effect, on the motion. The increase of the temperature surface tension…

They finally announced a contest for the best dome design, with a prize of 200 gold…

Furthermore, guidelines considering the selection of algorithms and input parameters for the MHNSGA algorithm are resulted from the analysis of real-world databases. When it comes to solving the controller placement problem with tens of millions placements for which performing the exhaustive evaluation requires a considerable amount of time and memory budget, our proposed heuristic approach is an appropriate choice. As described before, for such these large-scale instances, it is only possible…
